Infinite Orbits selects Simera Sense to supply Space-based Space Situational Awareness payload

Simera Sense and Infinite Orbits announced the signing of a contract to incorporate Simera Sense's optical payload onto an Infinite Orbits mission. This collaboration is part of the French governmental program named France 2030 and led by the French Space Agency (CNES).

Under the agreement, Simera Sense will supply its commercial off-the-shelf optical payload as a complimentary subsystem to Infinite Orbits’ payloads. This mission is at the forefront of European SmallSat technology, featuring in-situ surveillance sensors.

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in enhancing space surveillance capabilities. The optical payload, part of Simera Sense's proven portfolio, brings complementary capacities within the set of payloads. This payload will deliver Non-Earth Imaging (NEI) in the visible spectrum, a crucial capability for understanding and monitoring objects in orbit. Simera Sense's product portfolio includes the xScape50 (1U volume at 30m resolution), the xScape100 (1.5U volume at 4.75m resolution)  and xScape200 (12U volume at 1.5m resolution), all designed for satellite-based observation applications.
